,• • • ' triciti of the 'Cotidnet of liis foike - i; and ha riot., in this instance ' depart from the line • out by Sir H. Burrards *hose sense of ho . - te Ili and noble noel had prompted him only to de- Sire that he might beatoWthe laurel on the head that had earned it. Alf the military merit Of this cam- ,• paign, was exclusively Sir A. Wellesley's, and, this Wits notthe first instance in which the House were balled on to vote an approval of his gallant and dis tinguished condud. He bad commanded a darv,er `army than: that with which he conquered at Weil, and the battle of Assays, with the unin errupted .display of the most excellent military ta lents throughout an, Indian campaign, bad quail lied him in an eminent degree for the trust there 'reposed in him. Military experience had ensured him that success, which ever accompanied his bril • taut career, and he carried with 'him the confidence ot the House as well as the ellthUSlB6M of •the army. As far as depended on their General, they were the moat eft - calve that •- ever took the field , --they 'did not know What want was, and they were , ac tuated by only one feeling, from . the gallant: Gene al who was second in command to the meanest drUMMer in the, army— that there never was a Commander more likely to lead them to victory, or WhOM they would follow wherever he would lead. lie thought this was one of the 1111'01167Ciit cases ever made out, to entitle a General to the ,honourable testimony of his valour and good conduct,which was bestowed by the Vote of Parliament, and concluded' by moving a Vote of Thanks to Sir A. Wellesley, and the officers and men under his command, for the skill, discipline and bravery displayed on the . 37th of August, in forcing the French posts, and on ! • the Nast, at the battle of Vitniera. Mr. H. AnomoroN warmly supported 'the mo tion, which he was convinced, if .submitted to the Nation at large, would be carried 'by acclamations. The facts spoke 'lor themselves. From the cone tinnation of a military career so brilliantly began, and so gloriously followed up by Sir Arthur Welles ley, what might not the Nation ultimately exped ? .• Whether as the avenger of hie own Country's wrongs, or the protector of another Country, from violence and oppression, every thing might be lobk , ed for from that patriotic ardour, that firm deCision, And that calm intrepidity, by Whieh the gallant Officer is question had been distinguished. Lord FoeesToNe, after distinctly disclaiming all personal hostility to the gallant Officer whose.con duct was the subject ofthe motion before the House; proceeded to contend; that the action to which that motion' referred, was not composed of the ingre chews necessary to entitle it to a.'Vote of Parliament ary Thanks.---To entitle any transaction to such an honour it was indispensable, first, that it should be scene great exploit; and secondly, that some good consequence should result from con ceived that this action partook of neither of those necessary qualities. In the first place, the British . were superior in numbers, they having t G i otto men in the field, while the French had not above 13,000, making a 'superiority of 3000 British -troops,,.ex elusive of 1600 Portuguese. So much for the ex, plait itself. Witt( respect to the consequence of it; that consequence was an armistice, which led to a Convention, of which it would betenoush at present to say, that his Majesty, inhis Speech to the:House bad spoken in terms of strong disapprobation. Under this impresssoe he 'could not vote with the.Nohle Lord. It, however, be had acceded to, the Noble Lord's proposition, he should certainly have consi dered that it Sir'll. Surrard - entertained the ;,just feeling ascribed to him, 'it would be an :migrate.; fret retern to exclude him from the Thanks of the House. .. • Mr. THEiMANTLB, in an elegant and 'animated speech, supported the motion. He• gave the Noble Lord credit forhis assertion, that he-bad uo personal Aeastility to the distinguished Officer, to whom he Amsted the House-was about to express its warm mid gratelt4. feelings ; •hm he 'certainly appeared to en tertain considerable; hostility agelest the opinion. of Abe Country-at, large.
